Objective The general objective was to study the ocean's responses to changes in the environment induced by human activity. This mainly involves observing and predicting changes in a biogeochemical cycle of carbon and its associated elements in order to determine the ocean's response to increased carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations in the atmosphere and to other sensitive elements like some trace metals. Means used: Carrying out time series of monthly monitoring of hydrological and biogeochemical variables on an observation site (DYFAMED). INSU DYFAMED observation service, head scientist, J.C. MARTY, CNRS, BP 08, 06238 Villefranche sur mer (marty@obs-vlfr.fr). The INSU's observation service includes several teams from the oceanographic laboratory of Villefranche (Observatoire Océanologique de Villefranche) and the AIEA marine environment laboratory in Monaco. The dates of days at sea (monthly cruises of an average of 3 days/month) were: from 18 to 20 January, 20 to 22 February, from 16 to 20 March, 4 to 6 April, 17 to 19 May, from 23 to 25 June, 15 to 19 July, 17 to 19 August, 13 to 15 September, from 12 to 14 October, 21 to 25 November and from 4 to 6 December. The site was located in the central part of the Ligurian Sea. The reference point was located at 123 of Cap Ferrat, 28 nautical miles away from the headland (ie, precisely at 43 deg 25,400' N and 07 deg The study zone was defined with the maritime prefecture of Toulon for all studies: monthly series, moorings, buoys with instruments.
